IEPR Commissioner Workshop on Energy Demand Forecast Load Modifier Scenario Updates

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a remote-access workshop to review changes and updates to various 2025 Integrated Energy Policy Report (2025 IEPR) energy demand forecast load modifiers and the electricity rate forecast.

A load modifier is a category of electric power demand analyzed differently from the baseline general expectation of demand due to its unique growth patterns. Load modifiers discussed in this workshop will include behind-the-meter distributed generation and storage, additional achievable energy efficiency, additional achievable fuel substitution, and additional achievable transportation electrification.

This workshop is part of the 2025 IEPR proceeding. Chair David Hochschild is the CEC’s lead commissioner for the 2025 IEPR with Vice Chair Siva Gunda as the associate commissioner. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted, and the end time is an estimate based on the proposed agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time.

The public can participate consistent with the attendance instructions below.
